Answer 1

You gotta duck ?

Answer 2

Human Growth Hormone, secreted by the Pituitary gland. out of whack in giants and midgets.

Answer 3

The supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalmus excretes a hormone known as HGHR (human growth horome releasing hormone). This acts on the pituitary which releases HGH (human growth hormone). HGH acts on protein receptors on the liver triggering the release of IGF-I (insulin growth factor). This horome triggers a series of chemical cascades leading to increased cell division and growth.

IGF-I causes:

- protein metabolism: In general, growth hormone stimulates protein anabolism in many tissues. This effect reflects increased amino acid uptake, increased protein synthesis and decreased oxidation of proteins.

- Fat metabolism: enhances the utilization of fat by stimulating triglyceride breakdown and oxidation in adipocytes.

-Carbohydrate metabolism: Often said to have anti-insulin activity, because it supresses the abilities of insulin to stimulate uptake of glucose in peripheral tissues and enhance glucose synthesis in the liver..

Answer 4

Simply put, you are what you eat. The food you eat is broken down into its simplest form, and then reconstructed to form the parts of your body. Without a steady stream of nutrients into your body, you will not grow.

Answer 5

From a hormone excreted from something called the pituitary gland.
